The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 297

Hailey had heard the man's mutterings. She looked at Declan.

The dim streetlights cast a light on Declan's cold expression. When she looked at him in close quarters, Hailey could see a hint of youthfulness on his face.

He had been forced to grow up too soon, but he was only about her age. They were only in their first year of university and were still young.

He was expressionless and remained silent.

Hailey started, "You…"

Before she could finish her sentence, the weight on her shoulders lifted as Declan let go of her. He said coldly, "You forgot to take your things."

He had brought all of the supplements she had gifted them.

"There's no need for that. It's my gift to Mrs. Zamora to give her health a boost. I'm very grateful that you saved me."

Declan didn't say anything but strode away holding the supplements.

Hailey quickly followed him.

Hailey realized that Declan had led her out of the dark and wet alley to the main street outside. He called an Uber for her too opening the car’s back door and placing the supplements inside. He looked at her.

“Go home. Don’t come here again. I’ve already accepted your gratitude.”

Hailey felt her heart melt a little. She realized that underneath his cold exterior, he had a warm and passionate heart.

He had claimed her as his girlfriend before that man to protect her. He even walked in front of her to lead her out of the alleys and made sure she got into a car. That was his way of protecting her too.

This was how a man would protect a woman. But didn’t he think that she was ugly?

Ewan had never worried about Hailey’s safety before because he felt that she was protected by her ugliness. In his opinion, she was perfectly safe. Hailey obediently entered the car. “Goodbye, Declan.”

Ignoring her, Declan cumed and left.

Hailey leaned against the window to sneak glances at his retreating back. He took a turn and quickly disappeared into the dark alley,

Halley returned to the Lambert residence. Linda had made sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner too, and Hailey was quickly having seconds. “Linda, I want another serving.”
